    assembly: Assembled by the API Evangelist enrichment pipeline from the per-operation OpenAPI 3.0.1 documents Ordnance Survey publishes inline on each docs.os.uk technical-specification page. Paths, parameters, schemas, security schemes and responses are verbatim from those published documents; only the per-page fragments were merged into one document per API.
